VR settings while shooting on beanbag?
Hi everyone,
I have a Nikkor 500mm VR and spend considerable time shooting it with a both a 1.4X and 1.7X converter on both D300 and D700 bodies.
I've been battling low light here in Newfoundland as this time of the year it gets very grey weather here for 3 months. being further north the sun is also very low in the sky here.
I've been shooting at fairly high ISO with shutterspeeds down in the 1/40th to 1/120th range. I've discovered through some trial and error that I get the best results with VR turned off! Still seeing shake through my viewfinder i was using VR on both normal and also tried tripod a few times, but both with similarly poor results.
Can you share you experience with me? i'm curious if others aren't using VR while using beanbags for support.
Thanks in advance.
Scott
